Who Is Your God?

Sundays: September 22 & 29, October 13 | 8:30 a.m. | Chapel

Join the Adult Education Committee in a course designed to help explore what has shaped our personal theology. Jim Taylor and Associate Minister Ann Beaty will facilitate the three sessions:

Who Has God Been to You so Far?
How is God Seen in Other Traditions/Religions?
What Do You Hope to Get from Your Connection with God?

The course will include presentation, reflective exercises, discussion, and brief readings to do at home. Coffee and breakfast goodies will be available. 

Blessing of the Animals

Sunday, October 12 | 10:30 a.m. | FCUCC Parking Lot

Pets, bring your people and join us for a blessing on Saturday, September 23! We will meet ‒ rain or shine ‒ in the small Lathrop Street parking lot (corner of University and Lathrop). Treats will be provided for people and pets. We’ll bless dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, snakes, chickens, and more! Pets who prefer to stay home are welcome to send their people with a picture to bless. All are welcome!

Madison Area CROP Walk

Sunday, October 20 | 1:00 p.m. | First Congregational UCC-Madison

No one in this world should be hungry. That’s why the Madison Area CROP Hunger Walk is more than just a gathering of people in a place. We’re part of a movement, taking steps and raising funds together to provide meals for those in our own community who need them – and supporting programs that create greater food security in communities all around the world.

Please join us in the fight against hunger. The steps we take and funds we raise will make a difference in the lives of others.
